Oh, this is bad. This is very, very bad. I have papers due on Monday and Tuesday – big, ugly, whopping final papers – and this morning I woke up at 4AM sick as a dog. Intense stomachache, vomiting, you name it. I spent the next three hours trying to nurse myself back to health enough to get some more sleep, and finally took some Tylenol PM and tried to pass out again. The stomachache had been intense enough to keep me awake, and even after I took the magic pills I could only sleep for about thirty minutes at a stretch, but I slept in this off-and-on, herky-jerky manner until five PM.

I'm sure this is what my body needed, but my schoolwork definitely did not.
